Exceptionally dumb move by Roni at the end there. She knew she had been roofied–she says as much as she’s stumbling towards her car–but instead of staying in the food court, where she was surrounded by people and undoubtedly would get help when she collapsed, she immediately got up and trotted off to the dark, unpeopled parking garage. Good for the drama, but makes no sense in real life terms.
So Logan rescued her before she could be raped, but she still lost part of her mane. Does this imply that, in each of the “rape” cases, the head was shaved before any sexual assault took place? Because that, combined with the aforementioned lack of physical evidence (no physical trauma revealed by examination, I presume), plus the at least one phony rape–all of this lends strong creedence to the notion that there have been no actual rapes. I’m not sure yet what the game is if that’s the case, but it feels like that’s the way this storyline is turning out.
I’m very hazy on the Keith-Harmony thing. In fact, I kinda tuned out their last encounter. Keith rejected the idea of going away with her, but did he in fact break it off entirely? I think he said as much later, but did he really follow through with that? I don’t know what Vinnie is thinking, blackmailing Keith. He must think Keith somehow got a lot of Liam’s money from Kendall, but he should know Keith better than that by now. He’s trying to drink from a dry well there.
What possessed Veronica not to call for help before chasing that girl into the River Stix? Did she think Liam might be away at his summer home? Not a good move.
For those who’ve been struggling with their feelings about Logan: he’s definitely a dick, but he grows on you. I jumped in around the beginning of last season, and it took me roughly half the episodes before I started liking Logan. He can be a colossal asshole, but he’s also sharp, funny and weirdly fair and honorable. And a thorough examination shows that, usually, he’s on the right side of things (though it’s often obscured by his character and personality tics). Plus Jason Dohring is probably the best actor in the cast. Don’t get too down on Logan.
Back to last night: Veronica belongs in Quantico, no doubt about that. I believe her Prof. when he indicates (if not actually says) that he doesn’t really give a shit what she saw at the hotel. Because let’s face it, she didn’t really see much of anything (or anything that’s rock solid incriminating, at least). I agree that she should take the internship, quid pro quo or no.
No Wallace, no Mac, no Weevil, no Parker (not necessarily a big absence). That’s another episode where about half the credited cast did not appear. I know I harp on this, but it really sucks, and drags down the show.
By the way, who played the out of town girlfriend? I’ve seen that chick before, but can’t place her. Anyone know?
All in all, a good episode.
